Highbury House has long been a hub of the Birkenhead community. Originally run out of the All-Saints Vicarage on Hinemoa Street, it was established 45 years ago as part of the 1979 Birkenhead Community Project. The House's primary purpose was to provide a venue for community activities and a crèche, enabling mothers to participate in activities or have some time for themselves.

​

Since 1990, Highbury House has been located at 110 Hinemoa Street, historically the old local New Zealand Police station – even the historic wooden jail cells remain!

Nowadays, this lovely villa is revitalised with energy. Still committed to its original purpose, the House remains a place for people to connect, learn, share, and grow and each day it becomes a vibrant hive of activity for many members of our community, both young and old.
